Horrors of the Hercynian Forest

The sylvan murk infused with dread
Primeval shadows prowl the land
And beasts that time forgot
Here linger still with reddened maw

In the heart of moonless night
Beleaguered by the dark

What horrors have we woken
In Germania's ravines?
The savage hordes of Wotan
The black Hercynian gods

Black forest, black trees
The howling Druids sing
A curse on the Romans
Who set foot in our groves

In the heart of moonless night
Beleaguered by the dark

What horrors have we woken
In Germania's ravines?
The savage hordes of Wotan
The black Hercynian gods

A unicorn grotesque
Emerges from the mist
The night-raiders' brands
The phantom armies come

Hold fast the wall of shields
And steel your hearts anon
The eyes are conquered first
When elder horrors are revealed
